I knew I wanted to do a Dora themed party because Reese just loves Dora! Mom brought the balloons and exceeded my expectations with this Reese size balloon of Dora. Reese was in love.
So much that she would not put the bundle of balloons down for anything.
Not even a diaper change!
She hugged and kissed Dora and they laughed at each other.
We kept the party small like last year with family and a few friends (Debbie!).
Alyssa and Slaton came all the way from Abilene again.
Reese enjoyed lunch with the ladies.
MaMoo and Nita had a swell time at the party.
Aunt Lauren played "fort" with Reese and Slaton. She is so good with kids and will be a great mom one day.
Reese got the hang of opening her presents and tossing the tissue aside.
She even took the time to read her cards.
Uncle Chris gave her the cutest Polo sun hat!
One of the funniest moments was when Reese opened her bike helmet and quickly tossed it back in the bag not the least bit interested. It was like she was playing basketball and scored two points. I didn't get it on film, but trust me she has more skill than I ever had!
Slaton was very helpful!
Oh goodie, swimsuits to pair with her new sun hat.
Nita gave her a "Kisses" beanie baby. I was telling everyone it had Hershey kisses on it and Reese thought I was asking her to kiss it.
Reese loved cake time! She smiled big while we sang "Happy Birthday"!
And she blew out the candle all by herself!
Reese love love loved the cupcakes! I guess that answers my question about the gluten free I made for her school.
She ate cupcakes for the rest of the weekend asking me for "cupcake" after every meal.
She was so cute making funny faces at Nita.
Uncle Chris, Uncle Scott and Aunt Lauren.
Papa Joe and Grandma Pat.
Aunt Sharon and the boys!
The only family picture we managed to get all day.
Cousin Andy was there too.
Sharon and Nita spent the afternoon looking at Scott and Lauren's wedding photos.
While the kids played outside, blowing bubbles!
And walked to the park.
Reese wouldn't put the bubbles down either; guess how messy that was!
The party continued into the evening with pizza and more cupcakes.
The next morning, Reese was still obsessed with Dora!
The night before, Matt and Slaton put her tricylce together and we took it for a ride.
Reese loves to do pull ups like her Daddy.
After Alyssa and Slaton headed home, Matt took Reese to visit Grandma Pat and Grandpa Joe. They visited the ducks at Meyer Park.
Potty Time! One of her gifts was a potty, pull-ups and book about potty practice. I read the first step is to let her sit on the potty with her clothes on. Then try bare bottom in a week or so. I hope it is a good sign that she wanted to sit on the potty twice last night. We also read her potty book before bedtime.
I got bubbles!!!
